Mo Salah

[rudedog]

Id be really surprised if we let Mo leave on a free now that Edwards is back.

[frank the tank]

Maybe Mo just won't sign a new deal or accept any offwr that comes his way this summer.

He mightn't want to go to Saudi this year (assuming that's the offer that comes in). But a free transfer to Barca or Real Madrid the following year might float hia boat.

He is ****in brilliant

I think we might just keep him for another season and then he goes on a free.. Like Bobby. Like Gini. Like Emre Can. And to be honest, Virgil could go the same way. We have got our money worth out of both of them.

Maybe we get a bumper offer this summer from either psg or Saudi. Or somewhere like Juventus. Or even Real Madrid. Just because they have Mbappe, maybe they'd fancy Salah too.

Id love if he did 10 years with us and went for the all time goal scorer for lfc. He is approx 130 goals shy of that so it would be a huge ask but what a ****in target to go for. Would be brilliant. And I think he is such a ****in machine and an intelligent ****er too that could adapt. He could become a #10 ffs and be so effective there too

No way he'd get the all time scorer, even if he were to get 10 more this season he would need 4 seasons at 30 goals, he has hit 30 goals for us 3 times already, but asking him to do it every year up to the age of 35 seems extremely unlikely, especially as you would expect his game time to reduce as he gets older to keep him fit.

Also, Edwards might have some new algorithm that tells him that actually keeping Salah and Virgil for the next 3 years actually improves the development of the likes of Quansah, Elliott et al and we actually dont need to make many major signings in the next couple of yeard.

Yip it is a huge ask alright. Hence I said that it would be a huge ask.

But who knows. It all depends on the evolution of the team and the player.

He could end up with another 15 this season before the end of it imo

Jesus, I really think the logical thing would be to sell now if we get a monster offer, but his output is silly, win win for me. Whatever happens, he has been a unbelievable player for us and will go down as a legend.

[Exiled_red]

It is mostly down to him if he wants to stay or move on, he's 32 in the summer but he's hit 30 goals in his last 3 season, probably won't hit that many this because of the games he's missed but is on 20 at the moment. At the moment it's fair to say a fully fit Salah is capable of ~25-30 goals a season in all competitions in a top league in Europe, I think he is capable of that sort of level for another 3 years (barring any major injury) I think he would be mad to go to Saudi at this point. If he leaves us (which I hope he doesn't) I think another top european club would be his destination. His fitness levels look such that he could probably have 2-3 years in Saudi after that if he wanted.

I would be wanting him to sign a new contract. The fly in the ointment is new manager coming, and wanting to bring a few of his own signings in and us having to sell someone to fund it, or Mo not liking the role the new manager wants him to play.

One of those nights for Salah where you think he’s been relatively quiet.

Just the goal and 3 assists

Rabona nutmeg?! He really is top shelf world class - like Zidane levels of amazing.

I don't think we will bring a manager in who wants to sign loads of players to be honest

We will surely bring someone in who wants to develop the team with the likes of Quansah, Bradley, Bajcetic, Jones, Elliott, Clark and a few others all going on to be worldies.

Then consider the ages of Gakpo, Szoboszlai, MacAllister, Gravenberch, Nunez as well and we are cooking on gas.

It all depends on whether a new manager believes the existing squad can perform or at least adapt to all the necessary roles to elite level for their system to work.

I agree with that I really like the squad we currently have, I would say we only need a 4th/5th choice CB (as Matip will leave and given Konate and Gomez' injury records I think not having someone else is too much of a risk). The other is a 3rd (or maybe 2nd choice keeper depending on what Kelleher wants to do).

Then it would be replace any of the players who might want to leave (hopefully no-one).

The big question for me is how we develop the youngsters appropriately, anyone who stays will need game time, which assuming we are in the CL next season will likely be limited to domestic cups unless we get another injury crisis, so it probably makes sense to loan at least some of them out, it will be interesting to see who out of the players on loan comes back and is involved next season (Carvalho, Morton, van den Berg).

Those are my views but we are bringing in a whole new football management side (Edwards, new director of football, and new manager) they might have different views...
